Chapter 170: Shadow Rain Disappears
Feng Jiu's expression was solemn: "This matter is too strange. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info The rain group stayed in Beijing to preside over the overall situation, and after getting the news a few days ago, he came to the wind group. As soon as we checked the information from the two sides, we determined that nine times out of ten it was the work of the mysterious knights. And then, after that day, it was as if the knights had vanished from the world, and there was no trace of them. ā
can make the wind and rain groups of the shadow guards unable to find any clues, what is the origin of these knights? As soon as he showed up, he had a clear goal, pointing directly at Shadow Wind and Shadow Rain, and there was no trace afterwards, which was obviously a careful plan.
Shadow Wind was silent for a moment, and then asked, "What about Shadow Thunder?" ā
Speaking of Shadow Thunder, Feng Jiu's expression was a little strange, and said: "Lord Shadow Thunder arrived in Beijing six days ago, and when I heard the news that Shadow Rain was missing and Lord was intercepted and killed, it was as if he had changed as if he had changed a person. ā
Shadow Thunder and Shadow Rain have always been at odds, this is a fact that everyone in Shadow Guard knows. Shadow Rain's disappearance made him so anxious that he was surprised by the others. It's just that what Shadow Lei is good at is not the way of news, and he can't even find traces of wind and rain, so how can he find it?
Feng Hachi added: "When Shadow Rain returned to Beijing, he and Yu disguised themselves as a caravan selling tea, and the last time Beijing received the news, they were in Chuzhou, and then the entire caravan disappeared without a trace. In just a few days, Ying Lei has gone back and forth to Chuzhou, but he has not gained anything. ā
Chuzhou is the confluence of rivers, only the big rivers have Surabaya, Tongji Canal, and the rest of the tributaries are innumerable. Missing here, it's hard to guess where Shadow Rain is now.
The shadow guard is a semi-public existence in the court, and dealing with the shadow guard is equivalent to openly working against Emperor Qinglong. No matter which side of the force, it will not make such a decision. Who did it? Shadow Wind couldn't help but think about it, so he had to put it on hold first, and wait until he entered the palace tomorrow to return to the lord first.
The next morning, just as the morning drum sounded, the soldiers of Anximen yawned and shook the noose, and opened the gates. The horseman, who had been waiting in front of the gate for a long time, showed the Shadow Guard Talisman and rushed out of the city.
He came to the house of the Feng Group stronghold, threw off his horse, ignored Feng Jiu's stunned expression, and rushed straight in.
Shadow Wind had finished practicing his sword and was squatting on the bluestone strip in the courtyard, rinsing his mouth with coarse salt. Seeing his tired and anxious expression, he hurriedly took the water, washed up indiscriminately, and stepped forward: "Lei, why is it so early?" I also said that I would go into the city later, and I would see you face to face with you. ā
Ying Lei's thin lips pursed hard, the cyan stubble on his chin was even more obvious, and his body exuded a murderous aura, and he asked in a cold voice, "Those knights, what are their characteristics?" ā
Knowing that Shadow Thunder's personality is like this, and he cares about the whereabouts of Shadow Rain, Shadow Wind does not care about the unkindness of his tone, and recalls: "There is nothing special about it, his face is ordinary, his skills are clever and ruthless, and his moves are all life-fighting styles." From beginning to end, I didn't even hear a word from them. ā
Shadow Thunder's brows furrowed fiercely, Shadow Wind was the only one who had seen them. How does this make him go?
Seeing that he was anxious, Shadow Wind said the results of his thoughts and analysis in the past few days: "You can relax, since the other party is coming at me and Shadow Rain, there must be a plan." Otherwise, they are so deeply hidden that they would not be able to risk revealing their identities against us. Shadowrain should be safe for now. ā
Shadow Thunder was silent, Shadow Wind went into the room to change his clothes, and said, "I'm going to meet the Lord today, do you want to come with me?" ā
Shadow Thunder nodded.
In the princess's mansion, King Qi and Princess Zhaoyang sat opposite each other and tasted tea.
Princess Zhaoyang smiled, as bright as a cloud: "He really said that?" ā
"Guan Fan Bin is not a person who is desperate for love. He made this request only to test us. King Qi leaned on the railing behind him, his attitude relaxed.
Princess Zhaoyang did not leak a drop of water in the operation of the princess's mansion, because she was a daughter, Emperor Qinglong did not monitor her strictly, and even the shadow guard only sent members of the rain group to be maids for the princess's mansion on the bright side. If there is anything you don't want them to know, Princess Zhaoyang naturally has various ways to arrange it properly.
Therefore, here, it is the most relaxing moment for King Qi. He can say a lot of words with confidence, and he doesn't have to hold some manners.
Princess Zhaoyang picked up the teacup and took a deep breath of tea, only feeling refreshed. waved his hand to let the maid who made the tea retreat, and said, "What the imperial brother said is very true, General Long let Fan Bin enter Beijing at this time, and it will never happen for nothing." Whether we can win his support and Fan Bin's request for marriage, we should go all out. ā
King Qi stretched out his sword eyebrows, and said loudly: "After the 'Peony Flower Meeting', the imperial sister can arrange for someone to go to the Tu family and test the style first." Miss Hengzhu Xu is only fourteen years old this year, and she has two years to go before she is in the filial piety period. Her marriage, the Xu family should not have started to discuss marriage at the moment. ā
"Hmm." Princess Zhaoyang nodded slightly.
In terms of life experience alone, Xu Wanzhen is a merchant's daughter, even when the Xu family exists as the leader of the Jiangnan Silk Shop, she can't climb the general's mansion. What's more, now that the Xu family has fallen, the range of choices she can choose from is not wide. As Tu Shanchang, she is very likely to marry a poor student with good character as his wife.
But in terms of appearance and talent, in the heart of Princess Zhaoyang, she married into those wealthy families and became a clan wife. However, how could these high-ranking families marry the daughter of a mere fallen merchant as their eldest daughter-in-law? Even if it is a concubine's daughter-in-law, it is impossible, marrying a merchant's daughter will be ridiculed as short-sighted.
Unless you are a concubine, it is possible to marry into those high-ranking families. However, with Xu Wan's true upbringing and the reputation of Tu Shanchang, how could he tolerate her to be a concubine? Therefore, Fan Bin, as the righteous son of General Long, does not need to pay attention to the difference between portals, and he fell in love with Xu Wanzhen at first sight, which is Xu Wanzhen's best choice.
Princess Zhaoyang believes that this matter is not difficult. Fan Bin's conditions are there, there is no need to beautify them too much, as long as his own people make his sincerity clear, the elders of the Xu family will think more clearly than themselves.
"When a woman marries, it is like a second reincarnation. Since the Xu family has worked Xu Wanzhen, of course they will not choose a son-in-law for her easily. Princess Zhaoyang's face was calm, and she said slowly: "Being able to marry into the Zhenxi General's Mansion, if it weren't for Fan Bin's identity as a righteous son, this would have been a family affair that could not be attained, and I believe that Tu Shanchang would also approve." ā
King Qi shook his fan lightly and said with a smile: "With the imperial sister making a move, I can't be more relieved." In the past few years, as long as it is what Princess Zhaoyang wants to do, none of them have been impossible, which is why Yangzhou Peng Tingshi heard that "Yunshang" was Princess Zhaoyang's industry, so he helped him.
After thinking about it, King Qi asked again: "However, what if this Xu family has other plans and is reluctant?" ā
The corners of Princess Zhaoyang's mouth flashed with a smile of unknown meaning: "If you don't want to, don't forget, then Xu Changzong's father and son are still imprisoned in Dali Temple." ā
